Velier Chelo Sajous Estate VL24 (Velier Live Milano) 2016
"Almost doesn't seem like Sajous," one member wrote — and that's the whole story here. This aged clairin still shows its raw side: sugarcane, mint, a mineral streak and grassy vegetal notes, now wrapped in wood from a Caroni cask that adds a faint tar-and-rubber whisper at the finish. Sweet on the first sip, then it turns green and herbal. Well-integrated at 54.6%.

The look inside the bottle
How does Velier Chelo Sajous Estate VL24 (Velier Live Milano) 2016 taste?
Aggregated from 15 community reviews.
Aged Haitian clairin, grassy with a Caroni-cask edge A well-liked but not unanimous aged clairin — several tasters rank the LMDW 5-year above it, and a couple flag odd bitter or chemical notes that stop it short.

Fruity freshness on the nose ... Herbal floral notes and a slight hint of dirty leather and light tar (difficult to describe). On the palate First alcohol well integrated. Honey, yellow fruits, melon, mint and vegetal notes. The dirtiness is very minimal and comes through more in the finish .... All in all, decent but not surprising.

Sajous is and remains my favorite clairin. Here is the oldest one for me besides the LMDW bottling. Beautiful nose, great aromatics, basically very round and complex. Like a dessert refined with passion fruit and tangerine, but also some bitter flavors and minerality, as well as acidity that bothers me a bit. The LMDW bottling clearly has the edge for me here.
Review by Giorgio Garotti
Another beautiful 'expiriment of clairin aged in caroni barrels! Despite the barrel it managed to keep some peculiarities of white clairin, especially the vegetal and fruity part! Promoted!
Review by Thunderbird
Dieser Chelo hinterlässt mich etwas zwiegespalten zurück… Die Nase ist recht angenehm fruchtig mit etwas Zuckerrohr und Minze. Am Gaumen kommen Gewürze und Holz dazu. Das Ganze erscheint zunächst komplex, aber nach längerer Verweildauer am Gaumen erscheinen merkwürdige Fehlnoten. Eine chemische Bitterkeit, die sich mir nicht erklärt und wie gesagt, etwas zwiespältig ist.
Review by Mentalo
Sajous ist mein Lieblingsclairin und die Abfüllung ist auch nicht schlecht, kommt aber nicht an den 5 jährigen von LMDW heran. Bringt noch etwas mehr Süße mit, Honig und gelbe Früchte. Caroni Fass kommt maximal hauchzart durch.
Review by Pierangelo Pianta
Beautiful proof for Sajous , almost doesn't sound like him. Plant trained by a great wood , not opaque like sherry casks, incisive on taste and final harmony , caroni cask.
